Diva has always looked freakishly like I did when I was her age. I showed her a picture of me as a baby when she was a wee tot and after looking at it she exclaimed, "It's baby me!"

People are constantly saying how there is no mistaking who's her Momma because she is the spitting image of me as a child.

My Maw-maw suffered from Alzheimer's and it was so precious to see her with Diva because Maw-maw spoke to Diva as if she was 8 year old me.

All of that to say, the kid looks just like me.

Diva and I were walking together the other day and she said, "I wonder what I will look like when I grow up?" Making circular motions with my hand around my face, I answered, "Most likely, like this." She stopped, looked at me, and said, "But I like my face."

This reminds me of when my girls were toddlers. They would cup my face in their hands and say they hoped they'd look like me when they were big. Now, as teenagers, they point out the new gray hair and wrinkles!
